A Thrilling Low Scoring Match Between Thane D & Vasai In The Ongoing Advocates TASC Challengers T20 Cup Tournament!

Winning the toss first, Thane D which is considered to be one of the stronger teams of the TASC Challengers T20 Cup tournament elected to bat first. They certainly had a surprise in the store as Vasai Team showed plenty of grit and courage with the ball bundling them out for just 110 in 14 overs. Apart from Mangesh Nalavade, Santosh Bhatgunikar and Bharat Gawande none of the batsman of Thane D crossed the two figure mark because of the tight bowling displayed by the opposition.  Also one of the added reasons was that wicket was flat and the pitch was not the best for batting either.

While Anish Kalwar took important breakthroughs scalping three wickets, he also got decent support from Giridhar Mhatre who took two important wickets. Both the bowlers did not allow any of the opposition batsman to settle!

While Chasing 111 is not a big deal in 20 overs but Thane D came back strong with the ball & also proved why they are considered strong contenders for the ongoing tournament. Thane D bowlers gave a fitting reply with the ball restricting the Vasai Team to 109 all out in 16 overs and winning the match by one run. It was a close match and a neck to neck competition displayed by both the teams. It was Thane D’s speedster Viral Rathod with the ball who snatched four wickets with his in-swingers  to dismantle the Vasai batting line up.

It was a wonderful show by both the teams and luckily Thane D won the match by one run. Considering the tough fight displayed by both the teams, more exciting competitions can be expected in the coming matches of the tournament.
